OPINION OF A CHIRoGRAPHIsT.
| LONDON, April 10 Mr.. Netherclip
an eminent chiFographist expert, has
compared the signature attached tC
the Times letter with two of Mr.. Par
| nell's SIGNATURES but declines to ex
press positive opinion in the absencG
Of further examples. He says there
are disparities between the signature
to the Times letter and the two others
, and that there are also disparities be
Il tween the other two. He thinks the
fairest comparison would be with sig
natures of the same date as that of tn,
Times and not with a signature recent
. " written for test. He says that thu
signature given by the Times. if false
is very good imitation, but that i
i would be wrong to give an opinion baset
on two signatures written for the puT
: pose of comparison.
